That's correct. Mexico lost the war they started, and as the weaker nation in the conflict they had little other rational choice than to agree to the peace treaty terms in question.

Mexico has no greater claim over that land, than did Spain before it. You might as well say Mexico stole nearly all of their current land from native tribes that existed there thousands of years ago.

To paraphrase Lincoln: "can you inform us of the actual spot on our soil where US blood was spilled?"
